Jonathon Hindes, COO — American Collection Systems

Collection costs dropped 30%, workflow delays fell by 40%, and every specialist was fully integrated and hitting targets within days of starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do collection specialists decide which accounts to prioritize?

Remote Scouts’ virtual collection specialists prioritize accounts by likelihood of recovery. So consumers who are ready to pay are worked first, and your team’s effort goes where it returns the most.

Each account is assessed on balance, age, current contact data, communication history, and the debtor’s ability and willingness to pay.

Accounts facing temporary hardship stay on follow-up cadence; accounts with verified employment or assets are flagged for legal escalation. Final decisions always stay with your team.

Virtual collection specialists provide regular reports on error rates, turnaround time per account, backlog size, and account aging across 30, 60, 90, and 120+ day buckets.

This gives you visibility into your collections performance without managing the day-to-day work yourself.

A Remote Scouts Certified Collector is a collections specialist who has completed and passed our internal certification program before being placed with any client. Certification is run by Remote Scouts.

Every collector goes through five steps:

  1. Pick: Only candidates with prior U.S. collections experience are accepted.
  2. Train: Collectors are trained in FDCPA, TCPA, CFPB/UDAAP rules, dispute handling, and debtor negotiation.
  3. Clear: Our training manager tests each collector. They move forward only with a trainer’s sign-off.
  4. Certify: Collectors who pass become Remote Scouts Certified Collectors.
  5. Place: Only then are they matched to your team.

Remote Scouts’ virtual collections specialists are trained on leading collections and dialer platforms, including: 

  • Latitude by Livevox
  • Nextiva
  • RingCentral
  • VICIdial
  • Teams
  • Slack, and 
  • 100+ other platforms


Do not see the one your company uses? Tell our team about it. Specialists are matched to your existing platform. Training is provided before onboarding at no cost. 

Remote Scouts places dedicated, full-time remote collection specialists assigned exclusively to your business. The collection specialist you hire is not shared across multiple client portfolios. 

This ensures full focus on your accounts, maintains confidentiality of your debtor data, and prevents any conflict of interest between competing portfolios.

The average fully-loaded cost of an in-house collections specialist in the U.S. is $45,000–$55,000 per year in salary alone, plus benefits, payroll taxes, dialer software licensing, and management overhead. 

Remote Scouts’ clients typically reduce their collections staffing costs by up to 70% without sacrificing recovery rates or compliance. Contact us for a cost comparison based on your portfolio size and debt type.
